About Heritage Auctions - Movie Posters

Grey Smith began as Heritage’s first Poster Expert in 2001 and has been director of the category for over 20 years. He received his degree from the University of Texas in Austin with a BS in Film Communications, after which he pursued a career in the motion picture industry. He began collecting vintage movie posters as a child and during his 22 year career in the film industry, he traveled the globe, always searching for, collecting and selling movie posters and studying the market. He now heads the world’s #1 Vintage Poster Auction venue.

Bruce Carteron opened the first movie poster shop in Denver, Colorado, more than 40 years ago, and began attending film conventions to expand his business. He eventually started a mail order catalog and Internet business devoted to posters, which he ran until 2004.  

Bruce joined Heritage Auctions in early 2006, where he helps coordinate the Signature and Weekly Auctions.
